Compared to any other technique of the same kind as a developed "high power" energy storage technology, pumped hydropower storage (PHS) has the least greenhouse effect [28], [29]. PHS is widely used in commercial applications due to its high global efficiency (between 75 and 85%), large capacity, and very long lifetime [30].
Figure 2: The plot above visualises (logarithmic scale used) the estimated discharge durations relative to installed capacity and energy storage capacity for some 250 pumped storage stations currently in operation, based on information from IHA''s Pumped Storage Tracking Tool. The vast majority of pumped storage stations have a discharge
Pumped hydropower storage (PHS), ''the world''s water battery'', accounts for over 94 per cent of installed global energy storage capacity, and retains several advantages such as lifetime cost, levels of sustainability and scale.
